The man whose body was found in a house on Hargett Street on Tuesday has been identified by Marine Corps officials.

Lance Cpl. Jeremy D. Hall, 22, of Amanda, Ohio, and his wife Jessica Hall, 22, of Amanda Ohio, were found dead at 1405 Hargett St. by Jacksonville Police after a family member called JPD concerned.

According to Jacksonville Police, autopsies were performed Wednesday at Onslow Memorial Hospital. Jessica Hall had two fatal gunshot wounds, and Lance Cpl. Hall had died from a single, apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

First Lt. Kristen McCarthy, a 2nd Marine Division spokeswoman, stated in an email that the Marine was a tank crewman assigned to 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. He joined the Marine Corps in March 2011 and was promoted to his current rank in December 2011.

His awards include the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

“2nd Marine Division’s thoughts are with the Hall family during this difficult time,” McCarthy stated.

Police believe the incident was a homicide-suicide, and it remains under investigation.
